Outstanding build. The Victor, and to a certain extent, Vulcan, have such complex shapes and curves that masking and painting can be a real challenge. You've accomplished this task admirably. Very well done. 👍

Very nice build. I worked on the Victor when I was in the RAF, so this video brings back some nice memories. Not to be pedantic, I noticed you say the top 'pods' were fuel tanks. They are actually called Whitecombe Pods, or Kuchemann 'carrots'. These pods were originally fitted to carry 'chaff'. When they became redundant, the pods were left in place as they didn't affect the flight character of the aircraft.

Probably the best example I've seen on the Tube. I'm kinda not an underpainting kinda guy but in this case you have me questioning my thoughts. I have been a Victor just like this at Duxford Air Museum. The paint on the real one is very uniform and flat. Capturing reality on a model is perhaps rather boring though? I love the blacked out screen too, perfect for this model . 😀

What a beast and it looks really good. Since I live in a small flat I'd snap one up if it came in 1/144 otherwise I'd be running out of room real quick.😁

Gonna hafta get me some of that pin-striping tape. Hope I can find some locally. Just another awesome build.

Love that pour technique. It looks great. Stunning build. 👍👍

[cbthunderpig]

Great build and new ideas, , that's one difficult camo scheme. I have seen the air vent video and used it several times. Definitely good techniques, now if we could really build a kit in 23 minutes. This and the Vulcan are two of my favorite aircraft combined with the Mosquitoes Cheers from the colonies

very easy way to mak the samlines tak valejo putty smir it on the line tak a cottonstick mak it weath and driv carfull medium fast over the seamline and you will be surpriced how easy this works ! witout sanding.

Do Airfix not include the retractable air intakes on the upper fuselage just forward of the fin, these are normally in the open position when the aircraft is on the ground.

Thank you for sharing. What brand/color wash are using for the cockpit at the early part of the video?
